Gerry's decision to raise money for the unit and charity comes after they looked after his cousin's son, Ted, who has Down Syndrome
A GYM owner will be fundraising for a local hospital later this month.
The unit has previously taken care of the three-year-old a number of times, in which they have "saved" his life "on more than one occasion".Gerry told the Glasgow Times:"At the start of the year I was informed of Ted being in PICU."I began thinking about the strength Ted was showing, minute by minute, day by day and I was thinking of what a difficult time my cousin Hannah and her partner Ross would be having.
"I have never completed a half marathon before in any capacity so doing three in the space of a few hours is daunting but with things like this I think it's nothing compared to what Ted and others have overcome." Gerry and Hannah hope to raise plenty of money on the day, as well as change attitudes towards Down Syndrome.
